Troy looks to rebound against North Texas

[Harry]

Mississippi State score 20 points off of four Troy turnovers in the first half. The Trojans fumbled on their last two possessions of the first quarter and threw interception on their first two possessions of the second quarter.

“It’s like I told them at halftime when they decide to protect the football, we’re going to have a good football team,” offensive coordinator Kenny Edenfield said. “Bottom line is we’ve coached, we’ve harped, we’ve preached on it. We’re going to play the guys who protect the football.”

Troy now hits the road to face North Texas. The Trojans fell to UNT last season for just the second time in the series’ history.

“(North Texas) have played two very good teams (LSU and Kansas State). They’ve got good size and good speed,” Edenfield said.

“They’re going to be tough and have a great plan.”

Defensive coordinator Jeremy Rowell says the Mean Green offense will pose a challenge as well.

“They are a ball control team,” Rowell said. “They take advantage of things when they can and try not to make mistakes.”
